CHAPTER LUZ.

you ARE MARC UERITE STAIR.
The next moment there came before
his eyes the marble tablet raised to her
memory in Clife Church. Sacred to
the memory of Marguerite Lady Stair"
Yet here there was truth in the
MONDAY sun-here was the face OF his
wife, the face that he believed had long
been buried from the sight of man.
He was so completely bewildered, so
utterly dazed, that he could hardly form
a thought just then the beautiful face
was raised to the window, IS though
somewhat impatiently seeking more
light, and then when the light fell more
fully upon it, and every sweet line was
plainly shown, he knew no matter who
law buried in the vaults at Cliffe, that
this was Marguerite Stair. He tried to
utter the name Marguerite; he tried to
cry out, but his lips were still locked
and dumb; after a time the raraly sis
left him. and he turned to the door
He went up 10 the matron, who looked
in wonder at his pale face
"V on must oren that door, he said,
this woman there is one risen from the
dead
The matron in a quiet voice spoke to
the governor, who came TO ord Stair.
80 ave you identified her9" he asked.
"Yts,' was the reply, "she Is wom-
an risen from the dead" .s -
Captain Mayne looted at him. half
thinking he must be mad.
III tell YOU" cried Lord tair "that
you must open the door, that must see
her, must speak to her IL the sun
shines in the skies IL tn re he truth in
Heaven, If am not mad but sane and
well, the woman shut up as a thief
and a prisoner there is my wife, Mar
guerite Stair; my wife whom believed
! saw dead more than seventeen years
ago. st - ~
1t is impossible, cried the matron.
at Is true" repeated Lord stair.
g "open that door; ! must see her must
speak TO her alone
The matron looked az the governor
as though silently askng what she
should do.
"Under the circumstances, said
CAPTAIN ,Mayne, cit aill be best to do as
Lord Stair wishes. Open the door.
al am sure il Is right he cried ca
perly. "You can see there is some
great mistake, some terrible mystery.
NY wife has been dead o ore than sew
enteen years-yet she lives there. II
there should be any informally, never
mind; will make 1t all right. Open
the door and let me go in alone"
Both the governor and natron were
too surprised TO offer any res stances
they were accu toned to every kind Ut
&C 'entr city but woman said TO lie
risin from the dead was certainly q
novelty 10 them.
Lord Stair watched like man in n
dream while the door was slowly open
ed. lie went In alone, the governor
and tie matron both drew back. He
closed the door: No human eyes should
look on that s,eno -ifthis woman were
really his wife Marguerite Stair.
